<a name="intro"> </a><h3>Introduction</h3>

<p>To reuse questions, you can create one or more question pools. Each
question pool can contain several subpools (and subpools can contain
subpools), so you can organize questions by subject matter, section
number, question type, or any other criteria desired.</p>

<p>By default, the question pools you create will only be accessible to
you. For more, see <a href="content.hlp?docId=arev">Sharing question pools</a>.</p>

<p>You can move or copy question pools and subpools to any other question
pool or subpool that you create, making the original pool a subpool of
the destination pool, or elevating a subpool to question pool
status.</p>

group name.

may help you or someone else locate this question pool.</li></ul>
